' IMPROVEMENT IN HARROWS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent andmaking part of the same.

To all "whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANDREW LEWIS, of East ings, in the county of Dakota and State of Minnesota, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Harrowstand I do hereby declare that the fol- My inventionhas for its object to furnish an inrproved harrow, which shallbe flexible, so as to adapt itself to any uneveness of ground, and which may be folded together, to enable it to make a turn on vshort corners and i It consists in the harrow constructed as hereinafter more fully described.

The frame of the harrow is formed of a number of rows of short parallel bars, A, to which the teeth, ]3,-

are attached, and the ends of which overlap each other, as shown in fig. 2.

G are rods that pass through the overlapped ends of the bars A, and which-are jointed at their middle parts, as shown in fig.2. The ends of the bars A are kept in their proper relative positions upon the rods 0 byrtubnlar washers, D, placed 'upon the said rods 0 between the said bars A, as shown in fig. 2.

The bars A are so arranged that the bars of each succeeding row may be midway between the bars of the preceding row, as show in fig. 2. The draft may be attached to' either end of the harrow, as maybe desired. A 1

By this construction the harrow will be flexible, so that it may adjust itself to thesurface of the ground, however uneven said surface maybe. The rear part of the harrow may be turned or folded over the forward part, for convenience in making short turns. Having thus described my invention,

I claimias new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- An improved ha-rrow, formed by the combination of the short bars A, to which the teeth Bare, attached, and which are arranged in parallel rows, connecting rods O, jointed in their middle parts, and tubular washers D, with each other, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purposes set forth.
